An Unforgettable Experience

VictorHugo_G, Apr 2026

Thank you so much Alex! I really appreciate your hard work today – you made my experience so much better. Your passion for the place and for your country was truly contagious. You shared fascinating facts and hidden gems so naturally, things I never would have discovered on my own. On top of your deep knowledge, your warm and friendly personality made us feel completely at ease and connected. You were incredibly patient, answered all our questions with genuine enthusiasm, and went out of your way to make sure we had a memorable and meaningful visit. I left not just excited, but like I had truly experienced the heart of the place – all thanks to your fantastic guidance. A big hug!

The tour guide had great...

The tour guide had great knowledge of historical facts related to the Forbidden City. He was very patient in explaining all relevant information and took the group through all major points with no rush. Very enriching activity. Highly recommended
